BXBX NOVEL Chapter 54 Rick And Sara
Just in case, William motioned for the two girls to keep their silence using his warning gazes.
"It\'s your luck to stay here," Tang kept speaking in his envious tone, "only the headmaster and his little family members live here."
"You seem to know quite a lot about the headmaster and his family," William wanted to take such a chance and learn more about his future enemy, "are you friends with the headmaster\'s grandson?"
"Rick? No, he isn\'t that friendly to anyone outside from his gang," Tang said in hidden enmity, "he is a hard person to befriend or even speak with."
"I can vouch for that," William chimed in and used such a chance to ask, "but I heard his spirit power is stagnant. How come he is acting in such a way despite that?"
"It\'s not only him," Tang sighed, missing the hidden goal of William, "anyone from his gang is a jerk as well. If not only for my respect to the headmaster, I would have said different words about them."
William now could tell that Tang wasn\'t the same side as Rick. and that meant he wasn\'t part of the dirty dark spirit masters at least.
And that was a good start.
"I heard he has a sister, is she like him as well?" William paused before adding, to clear up any unneeded misunderstanding, "I don\'t want to end up pumping into her and getting myself into any awkward situation or something."
"Oh Sara? No, she is totally different from him," Tang realised what William meant and yet he added in warning, "but don\'t hold any thoughts about her. The headmaster favours Rick, but Sara is different. She is like part of his spirit or something like this."
"I\'m just asking to avoid any sort of trouble."
"I\'m also clarifying things over for you, so you won\'t end at one big disaster you won\'t be able to handle," Tang even stopped in his tracks and gave William a deeper glance, adding more weight to his words.
"Thanks for the warning," William didn\'t have any real intentions about this Sara. He just wanted to assess how deep the dark spirit master infiltrated the house of the headmaster of the academy.
"You won\'t pump into her anyway," Tang resumed walking, while his tone returned to be calmer, "she is a working maniac, always training. Even her free time is spent in studying different techniques and manuals, researching the big library of the academy."
"Cool," William admired such a mindset. If not for the headmaster to already place his eyes for his heir over Rick, Sara would make a fine candidate as a future headmaster.
Yet before all this could happen, William knew the world had first to survive the upcoming deadly disaster.
"Here…" as the small group walked in between many gardens through a twisted path, they finally arrived at a separate building that was three stories in height.
It was separate from the main building of the mansion, surrounded by a small garden and low-level wooden wall.
It was a simple place to stay at. "This is the entrance key to the place," Tang said while giving a small orange orb to William.
The latter accepted it without asking anything about it. William knew that many important buildings were locked up using special arrays.
This was the case in his outer world, and here. Such orb was considered his safe ticket to enter this place.
"Servants will pass three times a day to deliver food," Tang said before seriously adding, "your stay is limited to just this house and its garden. Don\'t wander around or else you\'ll get punished."
"Thanks for the warning," William cupped his hands while watching Tang leave.
William didn\'t intend on discovering this entire place. After all, he never placed such a mansion in his eyes. He had already seen and lived in many more grandiose mansions than this little one here.
Besides, he wasn\'t the one after the secrets of the headmaster, the latter was after his.
"I like it here!" Just before William could say anything, Tina jumped and was about to enter that building.
"Wait," Lina was faster to stop her sister from activating the restrictive and defensive array around this place. She held her sister and pulled her a few steps back.
"Let the young master step in first," Lina seemed to be familiar with how arrays in this world worked. William feared Tina would cause more trouble, and so he hurriedly stepped through the small wooden gate, holding that orange orb in his hands.
"Go inside, little monster," William said in a joking tone while Tina didn\'t hold up herself and ran all the way inside.
And Lina followed in fast steps.
William walked slowly inside the building. In his eyes, he was thinking about what he should do next.
"It\'s a nice place indeed," despite the building looking simple from outside, it was quite spacious from inside.
There was a nice hall in front of the door, which led into three twisted corridors leading away from the hall to around twelve rooms.
There were two stairs heading to the next level. When William was just halfway through the lowest floor, the two girls were already on the third one.
"I love it here!" Tina met with William at the stairs leading to the second floor, "I want to stay here forever!"
"Tina, we can\'t," Lina was like a caring mother who kept running after her naughty child. William knew if not for that mask, Lina\'s face would show clear signs of worry and exhaustion.
"I\'m sure our next place will also look quite good," William smiled as he tried to prepare this little devil for what was yet to come.
